FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 18TH, 2014 Christ the King Parish 1930 Barberry Dr.—Springfield, Illinois 217/546-3527—www.ctkparish.com Steven Bentley Ayden Boehme Michael Bracco David Brandt Ryan Canny Anna Carter Michael Conlon Logan Cullen Killian Davis Maggie Deckard Dominic DiLello Edward Donathan Emily Ducaji Aili Eggleston Will Elvers Claire Esslinger Isabella Farris Christopher Foster Jett Gay Alexis Hammann Max Heinzel Patrick Hoyle Madison Johannes Bryce Johnson Anna Lucas Gretchen Madonia Colin Mannion Anne Mosley Taylor Rahn Elise Ransdell Carissa Reedy Sophia Roth Rebecca Sauer Hannah Schmitt Erin Schweska Sydney Sowle Hanna Sternitzke Broderick Summers Benjamin Tomao FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER Christ the King Parish—Totally Catholic VBS July 21-25, 2014 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! The volunteers at Weird Animals Totally Catholic VBS will work hand-in-hand with the kids to discover that Jesus’ love is one-of-a-kind. You will be the Zoo Crew to guide the kids on their week long adventure. You will learn the cool Bible songs, join in on the team building games, learn from the “Science-Fun Gizmos”, and enjoy the tasty treats along side the kids. You will help the kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life and get to “act like” a kid again! Simply visit our website to learn more. Our CTK program needs: • Adult Station Leaders (all program activities are scripted and written to be engaging for the kids) • Crew Leaders for Preschool and Kids (perfect for 8th graders, high schoolers and adults) • Assistant Crew Leaders for Preschool and Kids (perfect for 6th and 7th grade students) • Station Assistants (6th grade thru High School) • Audio Visual Technicians, Photographers, Stage Design and Decoration Service hours can be used to fulfill CTK and SHG requirements. All volunteers over 18 years old must first go through Protecting God’s Children training and a background check. https://www.groupvbspro.com/vbs/ez/2014CTKVBS Questions—Theresa Maggiore @ 217-899-0548 Or Kathy DeSalle @ 217-725-0914 MAY 18TH, 2014 CHRIST THE KING MINI-FARMERS MARKET At the recent St. Vincent DePaul meeting, we decided to offer again like last summer a Mini-Farmers’ Market in the parish, after Masses in the vestibule. The way it will work is, parishioners are asked to bring their excess garden produce to place on a common table. Parishioners at large will then make a free will offering for the fresh produce to take home. SVdP will coordinate this, and all proceeds will go the Holy Family Food Pantry. This is a win-win-win exchange. Your excess produce is not wasted. Our senior members and others, who cannot get to the farmers market in town and may not be able to afford retail prices, get fresh garden produce. Holy Family Food Pantry can feed the poor through our efforts. So as you are planning your garden, plant a row for the hungry, and praise the Lord for his blessings! MEMORIAL DAY FIELD MASS AT CALVARY CEMETERY Bishop Thomas John Paprocki will be the principal celebrant at the Memorial Day Field Mass to be held on Monday, May 26th at 9am. Mass will be celebrated at the Fr. Howard Altar along with the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus and St. Andrew’s Society Pipers. Limited seating will be available; lawn chairs are welcome. Transportation will be available from the main gate. Our biannual Fatima Rosary Rally will take place TODAY, May 18, 2014, at 3:00pm at St. Aloysius Parish. Please join us!!!

Contact Sadie at 217-899-0251 by phone or text or [email protected]. FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER CHRIST THE KING PARISH—Rev. Joseph Ring, Pastor 1930 Barberry Dr. - Springfield, IL www.ctkparish.com 217/546-3527 As I write this the workers have begun the work to install the new 80 ton chiller (air conditioner) for the church. Recall the old one died last October. It was original equipment; not bad giving us 41 years of service. I will write a check for $70,000 to keep me and all of us cool at Mass, hopefully for another 4 decades. Our new boiler, installed last fall, served us well this long, cold winter; recall that was $75,000. These big expenses are unavoidable, yet a good investment in that they are much more energy efficient. Realizing how our economy works, our dollars pay for the work of human hands, locally for our contractor, the factory workers who made the units, the drivers who deliver, steel makers, etc. Are we an economic engine? Not exactly, but we are contributing to jobs, food on the table for families, benefits for others, all for good. From our blessings, being able to afford a new air conditioner and boiler, blessings abound for others. We can feel good, not just cool and warm, about this expenditure. Thanks to all who have contributed to the boiler/AC fund. Since the first Sunday and Monday of March, two groups of parishioners have been meeting to read and pray over the book, Forming Intentional Disciples: The Path to Knowing and Following Jesus, by Sherry Weddell. I have co-lead the group with a small team of parishioners, and it has been an amazing process, filled with the Holy Spirit. The silence has been broken and our comfort level increased to speak about our individual relationship with Jesus. The groups have been very affirming to me. One of the fruits of this is the new beginning of Mass when we turn and greet our neighbor. We desire to be a warm, friendly and welcoming parish. There is much energy from the groups to engage the parish to be intentional disciples, and we are meeting all together in June to consider our next steps. One for sure is to have another group of parishioners read and pray over Sherry’s book later this summer. What from I read on forums and hear otherwise, this book, this movement to discipleship in our church is sweeping the country. I know we have some work to do. I will be away this week (please note the Mass schedule) to be with a group of priests of the Archdiocese of Seattle, presenting Good Leaders, Good Shepherds. This particular module is on leadership in the one to one context. What I have learned and continue to learn from GLGS helps my priesthood and the life of the parish. I hope you are using your Little White Book for your daily prayer. On Friday read about cartoonist Bill Keane and “The Family Circus.” This week’s scriptural reflections are based on the gospel reading for the feast of SS. Peter and Paul. Please keep sending in the new census forms. It’s on our website if you lost yours. On the back cover, I am asking for the names of all our graduating seniors because our current census does not give me names and dates of births for most of the children in the parish. Thanks!

FROM THE PRINCIPAL: Because of all of the snow days we used this year, we will be in school for quite a few days after graduation. It will continue to be school as usual as there is still material that teachers need to cover. I believe that the best way to begin the next school year, 2014-2015, is to end this school year on a positive note. A report card that reflects a child’s hard work is that positive note. We all know that as it gets closer to the end of a school year, it is hard to keep students motivated. We will do all we can here to help them and we know that you will do what you always do, remind your children that school is important. We will keep teaching through Friday, May 30. June 2 will be the clean-up day and June 3 is Fun Day. On June 3, we will plan to meet in church for a short prayer service. After that, children will receive report cards from their teachers and be dismissed with our blessings for a safe summer. God’s Blessings, Jeanine Kolb ************************************************************************* CTK Discount Cards are available for purchase ($10). There are 15 businesses on the card.

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 18TH, 2014 PRO-LIFE CORNER: "Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person -- among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you” (Jer 1:5; cf Job 10:8-12; Ps 22:10-11). “My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth” (Ps. 139:15). Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable." -- Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2270-2271 Jesus said “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.” Learn how much Jesus brings this into our Sacrament of marriage.
